"As the Crown Prince, I am superior to you, a mere prince. You dare roar in the court and disregard the ancestral rites and laws Do you not care for the order of seniority"

"I have an imperial decree from my father, granting me the authority to govern in his stead. All matters, big and small, fall under my jurisdiction. Your opposition is therefore opposition to my father and tantamount to rebellion."

Li Chen's two questions made Li Yinhu's face stiffen.

In the end, Li Chen's status and the imperial decree to safeguard the nation amounted to an invincible shield for him.

No matter what, the legal principle's legitimacy cannot be avoided.

And on this day, the only one who could abolish this invincible golden body is the great emperor.

But this invincible golden armor was personally put on Li Chen by the great emperor. Could he take it back

At least now, it's absolutely impossible.

So Li Yinhu felt suffocated.

And at this moment, Zhao Xuanji spoke again.

"Your Highness, the intention of the court officials is to assist Your Majesty in governing the country. More importantly, it is to dare to advise and even die for the throne when the ruler is incompetent. Your Highness, as the crown prince, has provoked the anger of heaven and man. This old minister, even if he sacrifices his life, cannot stand idly by and watch such a prince take over the Qin dynasty. How can the three hundred and sixty years of national fortune end with our dynasty"

As soon as the words hit the ground, every single person in the Taihe Hall stared at Zhao Xuanji with eyes filled with utter terror.

This is too much to bear.

He was about to point at Li Chen's nose and say, "You are incompetent, a fool! Your ascension to the throne will only bring ruin to the Qin court. Just hand over power and get out!"

Is that even something you can say

Some timid and weak-willed officials turned pale.

They suddenly realized that today's court session was likely to be a major event.

At this moment, Su Zhetong was eager to make a move.

Li Chen glanced at him, motioning to Su Zhenting not to speak or make any statement.

After Su Zhen Ting restrained himself, Li Chen walked down from the imperial platform.

He first came before Li Yinhu.

Li Yinhu looked at Li Chen approaching step by step with fear. His reason told him not to be afraid, Li Chen would definitely not do anything to him on the Taihe Palace, but the scenes of Li Chen cruelly killing other officials in the past made Li Yinhu instinctively fear.

He instinctively took a step back, his voice trembling as he said, “What do you want”

Li Chen didn't say a word, and with a slap, he hit Li Yinhu across the face.

With a sound like shattering glass, the noise was incredibly crisp and clear.

Li Yinhu only felt half his head was numb. He covered his face, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. The pain made him almost go mad.

What hurt him more than pain was the humiliation.

"In ancient times, a brother is like a father. Your father, the emperor, is now seriously ill and unconscious. The country is in danger, with countless problems arising one after another. If any one of them is mishandled, the entire nation will be at stake. Yet, you, as a prince, are oblivious to the plight of your country and your brother. Instead of helping to alleviate the burden on your elder brother, you are consumed by power struggles, used by treacherous people, and remain unaware."

"This slap is from this palace, on behalf of my father."

After finishing his words, Li Chen didn't even glance at the terrifyingly pale face of Li Yinhu. Instead, he walked over to Zhao Xuanji.

Zhao Xuanji's face was calm, and he slowly said, "Does Your Highness also want to give the old minister a slap"

"The Great Qin Dynasty respects the elderly and loves the young, values propriety and keeps to festivals. It's only right for me to punish that incompetent younger brother of mine, but you, Elder Advisor, are old, and as the chief advisor to the court, I wouldn't strike you."

Zhao Xuanji was a little disappointed.

If Li Chen were to slap him, then his reputation as a prince would be ruined.

But it can kill.

The next three words that followed sent a shiver down the spines of the dozens of civil and military officials present in the Taihe Palace.at Li Chen needs is exactly the kind of intelligence he shows.As for Zhou Ping'an's motives and schemes, Li Chen didn't care.Unless the current problems are resolved, there's no point in discussing th...
